Winemaking
Tavel is an “original rosé” produced by a type of winemaking which makes completely different from any other rosé and is more like a red wine. It has long macerations (48 hours), after pressing, fermentation is led from 10 to 15 days at low temperatures (13°-14°C). Tavel is a blend of free run juice (which gives fruit aromas, freshness and acidity), and pressing juice (which preserves its richness, structure and strength). This single and original blend gives rise to Tavel wine, "1st Rosé of France".

One of two organic domaines being oìered by Tavel's excellent cave cooperative, the 2022 Tavel Domaine Saint-Jérôme starts oì with restrained notes of crushed stone, lime zest and redcurrants. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely broad and expansive on the palate, then zesty and refreshing on the finish.
